julius27 Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I enjoyed "The Guardship" immensely. I ain't 'ad a chance ta read the other two yet, but I'm sure I'll like them just as much. I also need to get on the Jack Aubrey cannon as my cusin got me "Master and Commander" and "The Far Side of the World" for x-mas. There are actually several books between the two, but I'll see if that affects my enjoyment of the story. Not bloody likely. I am Julius Aurelius, future ruler of the universe. Kneel quickly, for I have many feeble minds to overcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serendipity Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 The Curse of Treasure Island (sequel) by Francis Bryan I actually read this one and to my immense surprise it was far too bleak/violent for me. I eat Stephen King books for breakfast but this one made me go 'E-ew-w'. There was really no point where I was enjoying it. I read 'Captain Blood' and 'The Black Swan' back to back and liked both of them but Captain Blood was much, much, better. Arabella was a better damsel. Blood was a better pirate. More actual pirating. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Morgan Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Just started "Porto Bello Gold" by Howden-Smith... if you liked "Treasure Island", read this one... written in a similar style to RLS, with many of the same characters as "Treasure Island"... good read... Touche' Ship's Marksman & Crab Fiend Pyrates of the Coast "All the skill in the world goes out the window if an angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket." "Florida points like a guiding thumb, To the southern isles of rumba and rum, To the mystery cities and haunted seas, Of the Spanish Main and the Caribbees..."
